The number of outpatient surgery procedures performed in the United States is expected to increase 15% by 2028. As the demand for outpatient surgeries grows and more surgeries are moved to ambulatory settings, there will be increased need to renovate, expand, and build new ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs).
However, the ASC development process is complex and mistakes are often made that result in unforeseen project delays and additional costs. To help you better understand the common pitfalls and how to avoid them, we have gathered a panel of medical real estate experts to discuss what goes into the successful planning, design and construction of an ASC.
Join key players including Joe Bolano (Colliers), Nicholas P. Michnevitz (MBH Architecture), and Gustavo Mazza (Milrose Consultants), as they break down the important information you need to know to streamline the approval process and open a successful ambulatory surgery center.
During this webinar, our industry experts will discuss:
∎ How to perform proper due diligence for outpatient facility projects
∎ Critical factors that you must take into consideration during site selection
∎ Common pitfalls and mistakes made during ASC projects and how to avoid them
∎ Evaluating whether to renovate an existing space or open a new ASC facility
∎ How to streamline the regulatory approval process in order to meet target occupancy dates
